Paint Industry


Anti-Corrosive Pigments

There are two types of anti-corrosive pigments within our portfolio :

Standard Zinc Phosphate (Acc to BS 5193) – this is our most basic type of phosphate, which complies with the British Standard of BS 5193. This product is micronised which gives easy dispersion using a high-speed mixer. The product also has very low impurity levels (Pb, Cd, Cu) which enables the best performance possible from this type of Phosphate.

The Second Generation are a range of modified Orthophosphates, which are designed to further improve on the anti-corrosive properties of Standard Zinc Phosphate.

Inorganic Pigments

Our range suitable for paint applications comprises of high heat stable Mixed Metal oxides (Nickel Titanate and Chromium Titanate) Cobalt Blues and Greens, Iron Chromite Brown and Spinel Blacks.

We have a standard range of Lead Chromates and Molybdates in addition to a highly stabilised range. Chromium Oxide Green and Micronised Red/Yellow and Black Synthetic Iron Oxides.

Lead Oxides

Although the use of Lead compounds has been very much restricted in paint applications, Red Lead remains one of the most effective corrosion inhibitors for Iron and Steel structures.

Titanium Dioxide

Our range of titanium dioxide is a top quality chloride process product. There are several grades available each having different properties for individual applications.

If you are able to inform us of the grade that you are presently using and your application field then we will offer a suitable replacement.

All stock is held here in our Manchester warehouse with deliveries on a 3-4 day lead-time.

Zinc Oxide & Zinc Dust

Zinc Oxides have traditionally been used in the paint industry. Zinc Oxide in coatings provides a broad spectrum of optical, chemical, biochemical and physical properties.

We offer two grades of Zinc Oxide manufactured under the “French Process”, a Standard Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade:

The Standard Grade is a “Micronised White Seal Quality” but is often used against the less pure “Red Seal Qualities” traditionally supplied into the industry.

The Pharmaceutical Grade has very low heavy metal traces and is FDA approved.
